[QUOTE="84green, post: 2255366, member: 519256"] Hi I can’t speak to the connection and suspect there will be differing answers. I have had high BP for several years and been Type 2 since 2016. In January I was diagnosed with minimal/mild coronary artery blockages. I have never had high cholesterol and suspect that my CAD is linked to my BP and diabetes (plus family history and stress). Since January I have followed a low carb diet, exercised most days and lost over four stone. My HbA1c has gone from 56 to 38 (metformin reduced by 50%) and my BP this morning was 112/68 (with meds - that I am hoping to eventually eliminate with more weight loss). The most important thing is that your conditions are controlled (either with or without medication). It seems that you are doing all the right things to achieve normal BP and BG levels and have already made excellent progress. Keep on doing this and the connection becomes less relevant to you.
